You must also detect "too long loops"… which is dangerously close to solving the halting problem.

This and other similar CPU-bound operations may be unreasonable to detect at analysis time. I would encourage users to run with asyncio debug mode in tests to help catch these: https://docs.python.org/3/library/asyncio-dev.html#debug-mod.... Granted that's runtime, but there are limitations on what analysis can perform, it's just meant to help catch obvious issues.
